What does the story of Rahab teach us about faith and works?

Answered in 1 source

Rahab's actions evidenced her faith, highlighting that true faith is accompanied by works.

The story of Rahab illustrates that genuine faith produces good works. In James 2:25, the Scripture states that Rahab was justified by works when she received the spies and sent them out another way. This demonstrates that true faith is not merely intellectual assent; it compels believers to act in accordance with God's will. Rahab's willingness to shelter the spies was a direct reflection of her faith in God's promises. This aligns with the Reformed perspective that while we are saved by grace through faith, that faith inevitably manifests itself in works that glorify God.
